So. Just got back from seeing it.

- Rey's accent. Rrowr.
- Also, forget lightsabers. Somebody give that girl a 'saber-proof staff and then stand back.
- Rey's reluctance to pick up The Saber is, to me, pretty clearly not a 'legacy' thing, except in the sense of somebody being unwilling to bunk down in one of Auschwitz's communal shower rooms. Even if it's harmless to her, now...
- I get what Finn's lying streak is intended to be, both IC and OOC. It makes sense in context. But I did not find it endearing or amusing, and, for me, it actively hurt to watch. So he's my least favorite of the new characters.
- Poe is fucking awesome.
- Awesome Ancient Goggles Lady is also Awesome.
- I can see why people dismiss Kylo Ren as 'Darth Emo', I can. His personality and... issues... are certainly his weakspot, both in-character and as a character.
- They're still making a huge, huge mistake. His 'Force Freeze' trick is terrifying, properly applied. His... let's be honest, mindrape gig is also terrifying. And in the new-line canon, bloody nobody has taken anything like the kind of battering needed to stop him. Even in the old EU, the only one that comes to mind is Darth Sion.
- Starkiller is an idea that, on paper, just looks like the Nostril of Palpatine. But when you actually lay out its tactical and strategic implications - it's a terrifying war-winner. If the First Order had had the same kind of resources the Empire had to throw at defending the thing, you'd need something on the scale of the Battle of Coruscant to take it out. It's like if GDI got to call down Ion Cannon strikes on map coordinates without needing line of sight.

The most wonderful thing about BBs
Is BBs are wonderful things
Their sides are made out of iron
Their guns are made out of pain
They're crashy smashy bashy flashy fun-fun-fun-fun-fun
But the most wonderful thing about BBs
Is there is more than one
The~re is more than one!
